Chelsea vs Leicester City Live: Team News
Chelsea:
Due to his hamstring injury, N’Golo Kante will definitely not play for Chelsea, and probably, Mateo Kovacic will not return to the lineup for the Blues as he continues his rehabilitation from knee surgery.
As a result of Kalidou Koulibaly’s one-match suspension, Marc Cucurella is expected to move into the back three, while Ben Chilwell will make his comeback to the starting lineup against the club he previously played for.
A classic. 😍

Havertz is anticipated to keep his spot in attack ahead of Armando Broja, who is set to be on the team following injury. Ruben Loftus-Cheek might replace Conor Gallagher in central midfield, although Armando Broja is likely to be included in the squad.
Leicester City:
Fofana will not be considered for a position with Leicester, and Rodgers must make a choice on Youri Tielemans, who has been continuously linked with a move away from the club despite the fact that he is now on the team.

After playing all 90 minutes of the team’s midweek match against Stockport County despite having a knee injury, Harvey Barnes has a good chance of maintaining his position in the squad.
Caglar Soyuncu will return to the starting lineup if Rodgers decides to convert to a back three formation, and Ayoze Perez is most likely to be the man who is benched as a result.
Probable Playing XI
Chelsea Probable Playing XI:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Cucurella; James, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Chilwell; Mount, Sterling; Havertz
Leicester City Probable Playing XI:
Ward; Castagne, Amartey, Evans, Justin; Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Perez, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy
Match Predictions:
In a typical scenario, several factors would point to a victory for Chelsea being the most probable outcome of this matchup. However, due to the fact that the Blues are without a defender and will be competing against a squad that is very determined to get back on track, we believe that an intriguing battle for a share of the spoils will take place in West London.
Expect, Chelsea 3-3 Leicester City
